These parents would have LOVED the collection of paddles our teachers possessed. Most were crafted in the wood shop with holes drilled in them (to increase hitting speed).
Some had raised Elmer’s Glue with the names of the paddles (Yup - they named them). One had the name in reverse and he’d let you go to the locker room or bathroom and look in the mirror so you could see his handiwork.
Here is an addendum to Ron White’s Line:
You Can’t Fix Stupid!
But With Duct Tape you can Muffle it.
My teacher taped my mouth shut in 1st grade.
Munford - you should be mortified, not outraged. You are the father of a child who is out of control and won't shut up when told to shut up.
Every time I go to an urban movie theater I find eventually that I want to do this to over 1/2 of the patrons.
Oh my goodness! If I did this or any of the teachers here did this, the students would laugh their bottoms off. They would think it FUN! They would beg to have tape on their mouths. They would want to do it every single day. (I am not a teacher. But I have spent some time in the classrooms of my children. Last week, I put some children in a sort of time out. I called it a quiet game with me and them while the rest of the students continued to watch a movie.)
